Re: Gearheads

I'm with you. Gear doesn't matter all that much. As you know, a great player can make anything sound great as long as it's in functioning order. Nice things feel, look and even sound a little better of course. We all like nice things. And new gear can temporarily re-kindle interest just like that new Christmas toy for a child. Plays with it for a little while, then wants another shiny new thing, repeat ad infinitum.

I try to put the gear myth to rest with my students early on. I let them play my horn, and I play their horn (this was before Covid). Guess what. They still sound like them on my top of the line horn, and I still sound like me on their student horn. But that still doesn't stop most people from going down the gear rabbit hole.
